Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

love this mini backpack, i needed a new gym bag and it fits everything. it's not too small not too big, perfect size!

It's probably the best miniature back pack out there. Even over small 5.11, and Oakley bags, and I have a ton of all these.

I used this as a diaper bag once my son got older for a quick outing fits some diapers and wipes etc without making the backpack so bulky love that I can attach keys to straps

I've had this backpack for about a year and I have tried to get used to it, but alas, I don't think I ever will. It's a tad too small, side pocket only holds a tiny bottle, but what I find most annoying is that it is wearing out my clothes where it makes contact on my lower back. If I'm wearing a sturdy jacket, no problem, but if I'm wearing a nice sweater or a linen-cotton t-shirt, it will get destroyed in no time. Very disappointed and kind of surprised that no one else has mentioned this.

Cute, holds all the essentials for a day trip, or for work (holds my tablet, 2 cans of Yerba Mate and a small first aid kit among other things), and it's tough. I've been using mine everyday for over a month and there's still a lot of road ahead. I've already put it through PNW rain, dropped it from a tree and dragged it through the street and it has survived 12 oz of coffee spillage. I love this mini backpack.

The prefect size for my needs

I like my Borealis Mini Backpack very much. It does almost everything I was looking for to be able to take what I need on my daily walks. The side pockets are pretty much useless, because they do not give you enough room to put anything in them but a piece a paper, Kleenex & a pen. Water bottles will need to be carried inside the bag, but I am able to take my wallet, my plus size iPhone, a snack and my keys. The cords on the outside can be used to stuff your mittens, hats and the like. But nothing heavy like a water bottle because it would probably just slip out. It comes in some nice colors as well. I think if the side pockets could be improved I would buy another in another color.

I needed a backpack for hiking that was small enough to look cute and not weigh me down while on the trails but still large enough to hold the essentials

Prefect size for the my needs

I bought this backpack for my Disneyland trip to put kids snack. It's perfect because it's not bulky and can be easily stored. Quality is great even for a mini size.

So compact. I can use it everywhere

I returned this because it was MINI. It's tiny. It looks a little odd on an adult because it is so small. With that said, the construction is great. Materials are good. If you want a really small bag, this is it.

Sturdy backpack, good quality. I liked the bungee cord on the front for quickly stashing a rain jacket or sweatshirt. It had most of the features I was looking for, but the inner pocket was a bit too small for my Ipad, so I returned it reluctantly.

I love this mini backpack. It allows me to carry a lot more items than my across the body bag does. I really appreciate the design, construction and durability of this mini backpack.

I love this little backpack. I use it as a camera bag to hold my binoculars and camera when I'm hiking and doing nature photography. The straps are pretty comfortable, and it holds quite a bit for a little bag!

Love wearing this backpack skiing! I just wish it had a chest strap to make it feel more secure

This bag is so cute and it's my everyday bag. I love it!

Great for everyday use

Very useful and not too heavy to carry

Bought for my trip to Vegas and loved how it fit many things. Great quality!

It has well organized compartments, fits more then you think. I do wish the water bottle pocket was bigger (it holds only a slim water bottle) and I wish it was just a little bit bigger.

It's very tiny but practical. You can fit a small water bottle and all essential items.

I'm not really a purse girl, so this is a great option and so much more functional than a Kankin, which is more like a kindergartener's school backpack. This has so many pockets, has comfortable straps and is a modern color. 10/10 TNF

This is a wee tiny backpack. The online pictures are deceiving. But it does work for just walking around town or maybe a nice hike in warm weather. If you like to carry around a lot of stuff for both of these activities then go for something bigger.

It doesn't have much space, but it's very good
